The American Oaks started out the same way but the racing secretary did a great job of obtaining some great runners. The thing about Colonial Downs is probably the timing of the 3 yr old season in general with everything in a bit of a lull. I would at least think they would try to attract some of the European runners who werent quite of the Group 1 winning caliber
